- CL023-021 Ringfort - rath
Description
On a gentle NE-SW ridge in pasture with higher ridges of coarse boggy grassland to the NE and SW. Hachured as a rath on the 1840 and 1916 OS 6-inch maps. Listed as ‘Earthwork’ in the SMR (1992) and the RMP (1996). According to local information this site, which consisted of a ‘ring of earth and stones’ was levelled c. 1950. It had been roughly the same size as adjacent forts (CL023-020----; CL023-022---- and CL023-046----). A stone wall at the site was apparently built using stones from the bank.
